Sorry Gentlemen, but I'm also with those that liked the combat for the first game more. There's a fairly easy argument to be made and it's not that hard to understand. Different perspectives and all that eh?

For me it was just much more novel and interesting conceptually; The Witcher 2 was far twitchier, action-ised and much more exploitable. I also felt that I'd experienced that kind of combat before and better in other games. That wasn't the case for the first game.

Still, all of these threads about Witcher 2 recently have made me realise how much I'm overdue for my Roche playthrough. However with all of the updates required, I'm going to have to do it on a day where my download limit resets!
